Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted March 21, 2014 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted March 21, 2014 Nice shots! I have one question though: are geese really flying that high? Looking forward to your next flights. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted March 21, 2014 Aerosoft Share Posted March 21, 2014 Thank you, Aharon, very "eddjumacational"! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Goose#Migration "The maximum flight ceiling of Canada Geese is unknown, but they have been reported at 9 km (29,000 feet)." Holy crap. I live under a migration route so we see a lot of them twice a year, but even at 1000 meter they would be hard to see and obviously they are lower when they fly by here. Sometimes I see them race by if they got a good wind, they seem to love that because that's when they make most noise. But 9.000 meter? That's cold and there is not a lot of pressure. I am amazed they can even stay aloft at that altitude.They must be able to extract a lot of oxygen from the rarified air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aharon 465 Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Thanks all for kind words.TomA320, Olli4740 already beat me for answer to your question. Geese can fly up to FL250 but the world's highest altitude bird is Rüppell's Vulture or Rüppell's Griffon Vulture bird which can fly up to FL370 (no typo).Regards,Aharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
